Taranto Twinro K123 Rebuild

Ah, who needs sticking batteries! Actually that's next on the list, got the box and batteries ready to slip into the chassis, just have to make up the chequer plate cover and rubber hold downs for it. What do you reckon about the engine rake, too pronounced isn't it?

G'day Evan, got to say that the engine looks like it's dropped a mount and about to fall out, eh.

greenie thats the last thing you need with a GM is a constant heading up hill

LOL, yeah you're right Greenie! As long as i don't have to mess with the intake and exhaust pipes i think i'll try and drop her down in the front tonight while i've still got time before the cab goes on for good.

Where are the oil leaks?

evan.. ol' mate..you're under the pump in more ways than one !

keep chippin' away and never mind the ''noise'' too much

For those of you that didn't get to the NNL at Ballarat last weekend, he Evan's Taranto's jigger all finished. Evan, you have done an outstanding job mate.

Wow, you got some good shots there! I haven't taken any since i finished it, mainly cause the left mirror frame got smashed in half on the way home from Ballarat! That's a good thing though as the mirrors are WAY too big! Can't believe i didn't notice it sooner, but it's all good as i've just made a new pair and just have to paint the frames. Also haven't finished the 1/4 guards yet but they'll be done in a few days...then i'll photograph it properly
In the meantime i've stripped my old green and white Seattle K100 tipper, lengthened the chassis 100mm, put a new cab on it, Russ bullbar and am almost finished scratch building a McGrath 20' tray and all in 10 days! Don't know if McGrath ever made rigid trays, but i have!

Psst Evan, better do something to the air cleaner rubber elbows, they look like something the dog just chewed on ( see the last photo ). : :

Definitely not up to your usual standard, now is it, eh.

Now aint it a bugger just what the camera can pick up. :-[ :-[

Not wrong Greenie! I honestly didn't even notice that, then again i didn't notice the mirrors either!, think i'm slipping a couple of cogs here!
